Why should I choose Sterling Green Card cover?
A Green Card is documented proof that a British motorist has the adequate cover legally required for the country they are driving in.
When driving a UK-registered vehicle outside of the EU in a country such as Turkey, motorists need to present the documentation related to their insurance at the borders of each country they visit. You can either buy insurance ahead of your trip or at the border itself.
Sterling has access to various insurance providers to find the best Green Card insurance for your trip to Turkey.
Your vehicle must be UK-registered and our cover can include the countries your plan on driving through. We can also arrange travel documents before your departure.

Why visit Turkey?
Turkey is a fascinating country to visit. It is rich in history and culture, and also has plenty of attractive holiday resorts. Cosmopolitan Istanbul is a huge city where east meets west, and it lies across two continents, Europe and Asia, bringing together different cultural influences.
Turkey boasts many architectural gems including Istanbul’s iconic Hagia Sophia with its soaring dome and Christian mosaics, the massive 17th-century Blue Mosque and the circa-1460 Topkapı Palace. The capital, Ankara, in a region famed for its pears, honey and muscat grapes, is equally enchanting with its proliferance of Roman and Ottoman architecture.
